KS4 Computer Science

Student’s choosing computer science as an option will follow the OCR 1-9 GCSE specification for the course. This aims to build on core computational theories alongside developing student’s practical skills.

The course consists of two external exams and a programming project. The project is taught as part of the algorithms unit and is designed to embed core theories through the practical application of a high level coded language.

The students will primarily be using Python code throughout this course, however it will also cover basic HTML, JavaScript and SQL functions.
